Today, the FCC took additional action to safeguard Americans and the communications networks we rely on. The FCC added consumer routers produced in foreign countries to the agency’s Covered List. This action follows a national security determination provided by Executive Branch Agencies. The Executive Branch determination noted that foreign-produced routers (1) introduce “a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt the U.S. economy, critical infrastructure, and national defense” and (2) pose “a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt U.S. critical infrastructure and directly harm U.S. persons.” This action means that new models of foreign-produced routers will no longer be eligible for marketing or sale in the U.S. The determination included an exemption for routers that the Department of War (DoW) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have granted “Conditional Approval” after finding that such device or devices do not pose such unacceptable risks. Producers of consumer-grade routers are encouraged to submit an application for Conditional Approval using the guidance attached to the determination.

Joe Kent says he is skeptical that Tyler Robinson, who confessed to killing Charlie Kirk, was the lone shooter. That accusation could undermine the prosecutors’ case against Robinson. Kent says he knew of the risk before he decided to speak out.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇶 BREAKING: U.S. and NATO forces have withdrawn from Victoria Base and most of Iraq. The exit was negotiated with the militant groups that spent the last three weeks firing rockets at that base. America went into Iraq in 2003 to reshape the Middle East. It left in 2026

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 As the U.S. is investigating how an F-35 was hit over Iran, their first questions will center around its stealth tech. This jet is built with layered countermeasures: jamming, lock-breaking, and a last-ditch decoy designed to literally pull missiles away. So if it still got hit… did the system fail, or did something finally punch through it? Source: Real Engineering YT
